Chai-Coconut Ice Pops – Meh, Okay
(2 out of 3 stars) Fun recipe to make homemade popsicles. Wish it was sweeter and tasted more like dessert.

(2 out of 3 stars) Not bad! Mild flavor but great crispy texture.

(1 out of 3 stars) This recipe sounds and looks beautiful, but the taste fell short. Bland and watery.
Zucchini-Herb Frittata – Meh, Okay
(2 out of 3 stars) Never cooked with zucchini or made a frittata before! This was bland, but would do it again.
